Do Follow Links

Hi DP Members


I want to know does "Do Follow" Links increase the Page Rank of the website ?

Why should i use Do Follow Links on your Blog

I am starting to get the following Links to my websites to gain the rankings for my sites

Will do-follow blogs attract some spammy comments ?

Any Suggestions

Thanks in Advance

 

I will be quick with this one:
do follow link says to google --> please, count this link for my PR.
So if link is spammy, you will get bad pr, if link is good, you will benefit from it.

 

Off course but you have to add link with no spam website.

No

 

I think it depends... If a blog is a dofollow with good pr and allows commenting, spammers may post unrelated comments only to include their link(s).

 

you'll get spammy comments. But you need to delete them immediately...

 

i have found linking to good sites helps my site on the SEO front. if you are running a blog you must be prepared to edit the comments. i have the same person putting spam on one of my site every day, i remove it, they put it back. so now i just copy all their sites content and put it on free hosting servers and hope it hurts their sites listings.

 

There are too many threads on this already. Try using the search function and you will find your answers already here.

 

Not true. If a link is spammy you just won't get PR at all. If you get bad PR then competitors would just spam your links. duh??

Spamming links or building links all over the web will never damage your PR. It's an urban legend in SEO techniques that should be ignored.

 

I run over 50 WordPress installations and SPAM comments is a big problem!

One site which I think I installed WordPress about 2 years ago has received 64,501 spam according to Akismet (plugin for blocking SPAM). That is a ridiculous amount of SPAM.

I tried removing the nofollow attribute from that site, but I get so many comments that need moderating and some of them seem real, but aren't that I put nofollow back on all comment links and recently removed the option to add a website link to the comments form and if a spam bot gets past that removed the link part of an authors comment (so links are never shown).

I've made this change on all my WordPress sites and it's made no difference to the amount of spam, but more importantly the amount of real comments.

This saves me a LOT of time.

I don't think real commenters post on blogs for links, they do it because they want to share their opinion etc.... not gain a link.

With regards PR, if your blog comments lacks rel="nofollow" from it's links they will send PR to your commenters sites. This has the potential to negatively effect your pages and entire sites SERPs for 2 main reasons.

1st your comment links will take PR away from your site which means the rest of your site receives less PR through internal linking. Sending PR out to external sites isn't a bad thing per se, but you should have full control over who you link to as it does cost your site PR. The best way of linking out is to link to related pages about that pages content, so if you have a page about "red Widgets" links to other pages (internal and external) about red widgets and similar phrases.

2nd the anchor text of links is important to the pages SERPs the links are on, so if your comments links are linking to unrelated content it's going to 'water down' the anchor text benefit of related links. If a page is about "Red Widgets" then ideally a lot of the links from that page will be to other pages about red widgets or related phrases.

You also run the risk of linking to bad sites through your comments, if you link to a bad site and the link is nofollow Google will not pennalise your site.

Basically take control of your linking as it's very important to your sites search engine rankings.
